You may have heard the story already, but four years ago, I was on vacation in India when the news broke. David Robertson signed a four-year deal with the White Sox. I was mad. The Yankees decided Andrew Miller and a draft pick-to-be-named-Kyle-Holder was better than bringing back my favorite player. I’m still mad they let him walk and didn’t even negotiate with him then.
I don’t care that re-signing him then probably would’ve meant dealing him in the 2016 fire-sale instead of welcoming him home in 2017. Logic be damned, I never got over that.
